We are delighted to welcome writer-director Steven Knight (Hummingbird, Dirty Pretty Things) for a ScreenTalk following this special preview of his new, highly-anticipated feature. Hosted by writer and broadcaster, Danny Leigh.

Construction-site manager Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) is driving from Birmingham to London, to arrive for the birth of his child. However, the baby’s mother is not his wife and he must juggle the demands of an important and complex work project, alongside the emotional turmoil his infidelity is now causing.

The only actor on screen for the entirety of the film, Hardy gives an extraordinarily nuanced performance, alongside the voices of the cream of British talent, including Olivia Colman, Andrew Scott and Ruth Wilson.
